Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to an orthopedic filling material, and more particularly to an orthopedic filling material prepared from plaster of Paris having a specific viscosity, and the method of use of the orthopedic filling material.
- The bone cement is one of the important orthopedic filling materials and is used for filling the bone marrow gap in the orthopedic surgery, and the gap between the bone and the implant, thereby enabling the bone to have an appropriate strength after the surgery, or enabling the implant to be joined intimately with the bone. However, the bone cement is incapable of being absorbed by a human body and is apt to affect the blood-making function of the marrow.
- The bone graft is another one of the important orthopedic filling materials. The advantage of the bone graft is that it is capable of promoting the bone ingrowth. However, the bone graft must be accompanied with an implant in view of the fact that the bone graft is incapable of bearing the burden of the pressure of the body weight of a patient prior to its fusion with the bone.
- The synthetic orthopedic granule is also one of the important orthopedic filling materials; nevertheless, it shares with the bone graft the same drawback described above.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a calcium sulfate-containing orthopedic filling material having a specific viscosity.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method of using a plaster of Paris as an orthopedic filling material for the treatment of a deformed born in a patient, wherein said plaster of Paris is a paste having a viscosity ranging from 20 to 75 poises, and preferably, ranging from 30 to 60 poises.
- An orthopedic filling material made of plaster of Paris is disclosed in the present invention, which is a paste having a viscosity ranging from 20 to 75 poises, and preferably, ranging from 30 to 60 poises.
- A suitable process for preparing the paste of the present invention comprises mixing 15-80%, preferably 20-75%, and more preferably 30-60%, by weight of calcium sulfate half-hydrate (CaSO4·0.5H2O) and 85-20% by weight of water, an aqueous solution, an aqueous dispersion, or an aqueous suspension; stirring the resulting mixture into a paste. The resulting paste was rested for a period of time to have a desired viscosity.
- A treatment of a deformed born according to the present invention comprises injecting said paste into a cavity of a born or a vertebra, which require treatment, as an orthopedic filling material, so that the injected paste will become hard in said cavity, and eventually will be absorbed by the patient.
- Preferably, said paste of the present invention comprises 15-80%, more preferably 20-75%, and most preferably 30-60% by weight of calcium sulfate; and water, an aqueous solution, an aqueous dispersion, or an aqueous suspension as the balance.
- The water used in the present invention can be distilled water, reverse-osmosis water, or pure water produced by other means.
- The aqueous solution used in the present invention may contain certain remedial drugs (such as antibiotics, and bone ingrowth drugs), nutrients, or other additives.
- The aqueous dispersion used in the present invention may contain remedial drugs (such as antibiotics, and bone ingrowth drugs), nutrients, or other additives, which are dispersed in water with a dispersing agent.
- The aqueous suspension used in the present invention may contain remedial drugs (such as antibiotics, and bone ingrowth drugs), nutrients, or other additives.
- In the process for preparing the paste of the present invention, drugs or nutrients may be added before the mixing or in the midst of the mixing such that they are mixed with the calcium sulfate half-hydrate and water, the aqueous solution, the aqueous dispersion or the aqueous suspension.
- The drugs, nutrients, and additives may be in the form of solid, liquid, or gas. The drugs and nutrients added should not have adverse effect on the hardening of the paste. The additives can have a direct effect or an indirect effect on the paste, such as hardening promoters, hardening delaying agents, and the like.
- The paste of the present invention has a viscosity ranging between 20 and 75 poises, preferably between 30 and 60 poises. If the viscosity of the paste is too low, the paste is apt to disperse quickly into the body fluid before the paste solidifies in the cavity of the bone or vertebra. If the viscosity of the paste is excessively high, the paste can not be easily injected into the cavity of the bone or vertebra.
- The chemical formula of the calcium sulfate half-hydrate used in preparing the paste of the present invention consists essentially of CaSO4·0.5H2O. The chemical formula of the calcium sulfate of the paste of the present invention is a mixture of CaSO4·nH2O, in which n has a value of 0, 0.5, 2, or others.
- The viscosity of the paste of the present invention is measured by a RVS-1 Rotary viscometer available from Fargo Company, Taipei, Taiwan.
